Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A power supply system for mobile vehicles, comprising: a conversion device comprising a first converter, a second converter, a third converter and a fourth converter, the first converter having a first input terminal and a first output terminal, the second converter having a second input terminal and a second output terminal, the first input terminal and the second input terminal electrically connected to a power supply, the third converter having a third input terminal and a third output terminal, the third input terminal coupled to the first output terminal, the fourth converter having a fourth input terminal and a fourth output terminal, the fourth input terminal coupled to the second output terminal, the third output terminal electrically connected to the fourth output terminal; and a control unit coupled to the conversion device, receiving a power request from a load, and controlling an output power of the conversion device; wherein the load counts the sum of the output power received and transmits the sum to the control unit, and the control unit counts the sum of the output power output to the load and transmits the sum to the load.
2. The power supply system according to claim 1, further comprises: a measurement unit electrically connected to the third output terminal and the fourth output terminal, and measuring a parameter value related to the output power; wherein when the parameter value is greater than a first warning value, and the duration of the parameter value being greater than the first warning value is greater than a warning time, the control unit controls the conversion device to stop operating.
3. The power supply system according to claim 2, wherein when the parameter value is greater than a second warning value and not greater than the first warning value, the control unit reduces the switching frequency or duty cycle of the third converter and the fourth converter.
4. The power supply system according to claim 2, wherein the warning time is greater than or equal to 0.1 seconds and less than 5 seconds.
5. The power supply system according to claim 2, wherein the first warning value is greater than or equal to 1.05 times the power request and less than or equal to 1.1 times the power request.
6. The power supply system according to claim 1, wherein the conversion device further comprises: a connector; a power transmission cable coupled to the connector and transmitting the output power to the connector; a first sensor disposed in the connector and senses and transmitting the temperature of the connector to the control unit; and a second sensor disposed in the power transmission cable and sensing and transmitting the temperature of the power transmission cable to the control unit.
7. The power supply system according to claim 6, wherein when the temperature of the connector is greater than or equal to 120 degrees Celsius or the temperature of the power transmission cable is greater than or equal to 55 degrees Celsius, the control unit controls the conversion device to stop operating.
8. The power supply system according to claim 1, further comprises: a bus electrically connected to the first output terminal, the second output terminal, the third input terminal and the fourth input terminal; a bidirectional converter electrically connected to the bus; and an energy storage device electrically connected to the bidirectional converter.
9. The power supply system according to claim 8, further comprises: a solar power generation module having a solar panel and a fifth converter, the solar panel electrically connected to the fifth converter, and the fifth converter electrically connected to the bus.
10. The power supply system of claim 2, wherein the parameter value, the first warning value and the second warning value are a current value, a voltage value or a power value.
11. The power supply system of claim 1, wherein the power supply is an AC power supply.
